Can bandages replace medical gauze? To answer this question, you first need to understand the content。
First, understand that gauze is a material and a bandage is a product. Gauze is made of pure cotton fiber, after textile, degreasing, drifting, and other processes, the color is pure white, with strong liquid absorption capacity. As pure cotton fiber is natural fiber, no harm to the human body, commodity property is medical dressing. Gauze is one of the raw materials of bandages, and some bandages are made of gauze, called gauze bandages, which are sterilized. But bandages can be made from other materials besides gauze, such as chemical fibers, elastic fibers, and viscose. It’s important to note that these bandages are not unsterilized. But the use of gauze is not just to make bandages, such as making maternal gauze quilt, etc. Choose to check the appearance of the product, the product should be soft, odorless, tasteless, pure white color, does not contain other fibers and processing substances, in the ultraviolet light should not show strong blue fluorescence.
Secondly, be aware that medical gauze is sterilized and can come into direct contact with the wound to absorb exudated fluid and help the wound heal. And the bandage is used to hold gauze, bandage is unsterilized, can not directly contact the wound, this point should be noted. Bandages have good elasticity, and the experience is more comfortable.
When we need to bandage a wound, we should first use medical gauze as a cushion on the surface of the wound, and then wrap it around with bandages, because the bandages have good elasticity and will not make the patient feel uncomfortable. Some bandages are self-adhesive, so you don’t have to use medical tape again.
